Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel will reportedly see his show come to an end in 2027 amid a feud with President Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, the New York Post's Page Six reported that "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will air its final season in 2027. The end of his show comes as it has faced backlash from the Trump administration after criticism by Kimmel.

An anonymous source told Page Six, "his contract is not getting extended," leading to the end of his show. The next season of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is scheduled to begin on Tuesday night and will wrap up in May 2027. The show has been on the air for 24 years, Page Six noted. ...

Veteran Democratic political strategist Julie Roginsky tore into ABC's "The View" and its decision to invite former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

In a Saturday Substack article, Roginsky discussed how "The View" announced that Karoline Leavitt had been invited to join the show as a guest for its new season this fall. Most of Roginsky's ire was directed at the show's network, ABC, which also runs "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and is owned by Disney.

"Has ABC completely lost its mind?" Roginsky wrote. "This booking is a disgrace and ABC should cancel it before it beclowns itself any further."...

A journalist pointed out that Trump's speech revealed what angered him much more than election meddling.

During an episode of The Daily Beast Podcast, executive editor Hugh Dougherty looked back at Trump's Thursday night speech on election security. Trump had touted it as a "primetime" speech earlier in the week, and what left him fuming more than election meddling was how it was snubbed by major television networks like ABC and NBC.

A top FCC official pushed back Friday on President Donald Trump's demand that the agency revoke the broadcast licenses of ABC and NBC after the networks refused to air his primetime address, according to reports.

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, the only Democrat on the FCC, made her position known in a post on X.

"It is ridiculous to call for broadcasters to lose their license simply for making the same editorial decisions they've made under presidents of both parties, especially when the remarks were still available to anyone who wanted to watch them online," Gomez wrote. ...

More than 16,000 public comments flooded the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday, just hours after ABC called on its army of "The View" fans to fight back against the Trump administration.

Viewers shared their concerns that the people who appear on the show should be determined by the show's journalists, hosts and producers. In February, the FCC announced it had launched a probe into the popular daytime talk show.

ABC on Monday released a new video urging viewers of the long-running talk show to make their voices heard. ...

ABC is calling on its army of "The View" fans to check President Donald Trump's Federal Communications Commission, according to reports on Monday.

The network released a new video urging viewers of the long-running talk show to fight back against the Trump administration and agency, which has launched a probe against the talk show, The Daily Beast reported.

"The government body launched an investigation into the popular daytime talk show, which is co-hosted by Trump critics Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin, over the 'equal time' rule that requires Democratic and Republican candidates to have equal airtime," according to The Beast....
